Trade & Industry Expansion – 1920s Gouda Works – Gouwe River
NL – Naast transport vindt uitbreiding van handel en industrie plaats aan de rand van de stad, hier langs de Turfsingel, een van de vier stadsgrachten rond de binnenstad van Gouda – grachten historisch ter verdediging, langs een stadsmuur.
De Turfsingel verbindt de Hollandsche IJssel en de Gouwe als schakel in de Nederlandse binnenvaart waterwegen.
De panoramische zwaai in deze korte film toont eerst de Gouwekerk aan de overkant van het kanaal, en vervolgens naar links, de twee identieke gebouwen van kaashandelaar Van Zwet, en daarnaast een grote draaiende korenmolen ‘Molen de Roode Leeuw’.
Achter die windmolen – hier niet zichtbaar – bevindt zich de aardewerkfabriek ‘Plazuid’ (Plateelfabriek Zuid-Holland).
De laatste beelden tonen – aan deze kant van het water – Viruly’s Zeepfabriek als onderdeel van de Stearine Kaarsenfabriek, en in het water ervoor een schuit met vaten gevuld waarschijnlijk met olie/vet gebruikt voor zowel de zeep als de kaars productie.
Achterin zijn een schoorsteen en de watertoren van de Machinale Garenspinnerij te zien.

EN – Apart from transport , expansion of trade and industry takes place on the outskirts of the city here, along the ‘Turfsingel’ canal, one of the four city canals around the inner city of Gouda – canals, historically for defence, along a city wall.
The Turfsingel canal connects the Hollandsche IJssel and Gouwe rivers as a link in the dutch inland waterway.
The panoramic sweep in this short film starts with a shot showing across the canal the Gouwekerk (Gouwe church), and next sweeping to the left, showing two identical buildings of cheese trader Van Zwet, and a big turning grist windmill ‘Molen de Roode Leeuw’ (the ‘Red Lion’).
Behind that windmill – not showing here – is the pottery factory ‘Plazuid’ (Plateelfabriek Zuid Holland).
The final images show – at this side of the canal – Viruly’s Soap factory as part of the Candle factory (Stearine Kaarsenfabriek), and in front a barge with barrels filled probably with oil/fat used for both the soap and candle production.
In the back are showing a chimney and the watertower of the Mechanized Yarn Spinnery (Machinale Garenspinnerij). Edit from film by Willy Mullens | Haghe Film | Open Images | Sound & Vision .

Tracing Lost Westerbork Film…1960s RIOD-NTS clip

After the war , in 1946, the National Institute for War Documentation in Holland (Ref 1), known as the ‘RIOD’ (Rijksinstituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie) collected the footage filmed by the Jewish camp prisoner Rudolf Werner Breslauer spring 1944 in the Westerbork transit camp.

Not all of this RIOD raw film footage – 9 reels of film – was handed over in 1986 to the RVD (Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst) , the Dutch National Centre for Information, were these reels were glued together into the 4 parts (Acte 1 , Acte 2 , Acte 3 , and Acte 4) that have become known as the “Westerbork film” (Ref 2).

The story of research on this unique film footage published in the 1997 Dutch book ‘Kamp Westerbork gefilmd’ – Camp Westerbork filmed (Ref 3) – included findings of more film footage on which I reported before : a forgotten reel (Ref 4), an unknown reel (Ref 5) footage in a 1948 Polygoon newsreel (Ref 6, 7) and lost fragments on an extra 1948 Polygoon reel (Ref 8) .

Another ‘lost’ fragment was traced in clips the RIOD had extracted for use in the 60s dutch TV series ‘De bezetting’ (The Occupation) presented by RIOD director Loe de Jong, and directed by Milo Anstadt (Ref 9).

That ca 10 sec short film fragment “Loading toilet barrels in train wagon 8” (dutch : (Toilet tonnetjes inladen bij wagon 8) was identified in Episode 9 ‘De Jodenvervolging’ (The Jews Persecution) broadcasted first in 1962 via dutch public TV – and is posted unedited here.
